Runners make their way over Caversham Bridge
|
More than 9,000 runners have taken part in this year's Reading half marathon.
Carl Warren from Birmingham crossed the finish line to take the title in one hour six seconds.
The wheelchair race was won by Trish Patel in 56 minutes.
All roads in the area are now fully re-opened by police.
Runners started at the Rivermead Leisure Centre, ran onto London Street, down Hartland Road, then Portman Road before finishing again at Rivermead.
The race is always very popular as it is seen as an important preparation event for the London marathon.
Among the well known faces at this year's event were Steve Cram and BBC Radio Berkshire presenters Nicki Whiteman and Jim Cathcart who raised more than £2,000 for Comic Relief.
